ROMERIA (MA) Spain 114mins
Advertisement
The beautiful new drama from Berlin Golden Bear-winning writer/director Carla Simón (Summer 1993, Alcarràs) - one of the most acclaimed filmmakers in contemporary Spanish cinema - follows an orphaned teenage girl as she meets her paternal family for the first time, discovering her late parents’ complex and secret history.
"Dazzling. A roméria can mean a fiesta or a pilgrimage and this joyous and melancholic journey partakes of both..."
Jonathan Romney - FINANCIAL TIMES
"Graceful, quietly intelligent filmmaking."
Stephanie Zacharek - TIME
"Emotional, politically timely and euphorically moving.
A dazzling and magical film, silent and yet deafening, which moves across the screen like a memory of our own, one that was actually lent to us by a relative who heard it from a neighbour who may have read it somewhere or heard it while walking down the street.
All true, of course. Or not."
Luis Martínez - EL MUNDO
In Spanish, English subtitles. (M) 114mins.
